We met in Philadelphia, PA on Broad Street where Nate was an instructor and Lori was a contractor.  We were introduced yet never talked for months following that introduction. We would pass each other in the hallways and bump into each other at the elevators. We taught classes in rooms that were side by side for months before we would talk to each other. Unfortunately, our first encounter was not a nice one and we actually had a small disagreement.

A few weeks later, we both decided to ask if the other would like to hang out sometime, little did we know that it would be the same day! We went for Monday Margaritas and have been inseparable ever since.

Our first date was July 26, 2010. To date we have been together a little over 7 years and when we say "I do" we will be one month shy of being together for 8 years. Not only do we spend most of our time together for these 7 years, we also celebrate our birthdays one week apart. We believe that this is part of why our chemistry is so strong and we have not seperated one time since we went on our first date.

We have decided to spend the rest of our lives together for one other reason than love, we make each other the best versions of ourselves. This type of love cannot be explained instead it is shown. If you know us, you can see the love and admiration that we have for each other and how it adds a glow to our faces which extends to our circle of friends and families.

We love spending time with our family and friends as well as traveling, which makes it no surprise that we would exchange vows on the beautiful island of Jamaica and then honeymoon on the island of Mexico. We have discovered so many different places and activities together and want to continue our adventures from day one of our marriage.

We have met so many wonderful people during our relationship including family members and we hope that you can share this leg of our journey with us. Fear not, if you are unable to be there in person, we will be sure to share it with you through photographs,videos and words. It is our promise to make you feel great whether right there on the beach with us or through videos and photos. We love you all.

Thanks for sharing our wonderful journey with us.
